Overheard in the Ali G

Does anyone actually work in there?


Study stress brings out the weirdness in us all, so it’s only natural that our conversations between cramming sessions may be a little odd.

Here’s our selection of the weird and wonderful things you’ve overheard people saying in the Ali G:

Jess, English Literature. Joe, English Literature

Jess: I overheard a girl telling her friend that because her dad and her boyfriend have the same name, she drunkenly sent a picture of her tits to her dad.

Joe: “No seriously he’s really hot, his lisp is just so endearing.”

Steph, Neuroscience and Psychology

I once heard two guys talking about how great it would be if they had boobs.

(Lads, it is pretty fun)

Ailsa, Environmental Management

This girl said – completely seriously, talking about herself – “The struggles of being an 8 out of 10”

Sarah, History and Sociology

“Shit I know that girl. I think I slept with her boyfriend”

Helen, Computer Science

Heard some guys saying “Condoms are so expensive but abortions are free on the NHS, so treat yourself to unprotected sex.”

Kitty, Neuroscience

I was listening to a girl tell her friend about a TV show called Thirteen which is “all about a girl who gets kidnapped when she’s 11”, and then someone they clearly didn’t know had to interrupt to say “I’m pretty sure she was 13… and that’s why it’s called Thirteen”.

Ella, Medicine

I overheard a girl talking about how she had a foursome in freshers.

Nic, Psychology

I heard a guy say he spent £130 in Factory on drinks.

Ben, Chemistry

I’ve heard a lot of weird conversations about sex. Yesterday I heard “A good dick can enslave me.”
